The bus was carrying one passenger, but neither the passenger nor the driver was injured in the crash. The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority chief executive Dan Blankenship told Aspen Times that,

The bus didn't have time to avoid the collision, so it broadsided the other vehicle and knocked it into the median.

Fegan's family released a statement through a spokesperson Terry Fahn who said

Today we lost a great man, father, son and brother who always stood up not only for his clients but also for what he knew was right. We are all shocked and saddened by this tragic development and appreciate the outpouring of support. We ask for privacy at this difficult time.

Fegan had formerly represented major clients like John Wall, Dwight Howard, DeMarcus Cousins. Many NBA players extended their condolences to the bereaved family on Twitter:

I can’t believe you are gone. I am forever grateful for what you did for me and will never forget that. This isn’t fair but i know you are in a better place and we will have a glass of red again someday. #RipDanFeganpic.twitter.com/uyQXuXaQuC
